There were occasional factual inaccuracies. However this book is a good overview of the subject from a Christian perspective.

Occasionally, I was bothered by some statements in the book. In chapter 5, for example, the author makes a rather stupid statement: "Will ministers wearing kente cloth, African drums during worship services, depictions of the Hebrew Patriarchs (along with Jesus, Mary, and the disciples) as blacks... produce African-American churches that contain biblical truth? Or will... people in these churches merely receive Black nationalism wrapped in a sub-biblical theological cloak?"

I would like to ask the author if he has considered this question in reverse form: "Would churches with ministers who consistently wear European-style clothing, only employ Euro-american musical styles in worship services, and portray Jesus and the disciples as caucasians produce churches that preach biblical truth? Or would people who attend these churches only be taught western ideas and culture falsely portrayed as being biblical?"
